I would supply gasoline only to those motorists who could give a reason for wanting to drive somewhere. That would eliminate much of this driving about from one point to another by persons interested solely in atrophy during mobility. E.B. White Quo Vadimus, Or The Case for the Bicycle (1938)

According to a lot of very knowledgeable people on the interweb, EVs catch fire all the time.

The latest unemployment figures show the RBA has utterly failed its role of maintaining full employment. #OffTheCharts australiainstitute.org.au/post/the-lat...

Australia's latest fatality data shows a year-on-year increase of 4.8 per cent to 1337 deaths to the end of May this year.....largely attributed to the increase in deaths of cyclists (up 36.7% to 41 deaths) and pedestrians (up 15.7% to 192 deaths). www.drive.com.au/news/cyclist...

Good news as the semi-temporary-permanent barrier thingy that has been there since the Covid pandemic is constantly being bumped by cars and then it partially blocks the cycle lane. www.transport.nsw.gov.au/projects/cur...

The idea is that Ukraine should trust Russia enough to make peace but the same people who push Ukraine to trust Russia are not willing to deploy troops to Ukraine to protect the peace, because they don't trust Russia.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I can park in the drop off only area because…….

Fox News now reporting that the US is considering sending troops to the Kursk oblast to help Russia drive out the forces of the dictatorial Kyiv regime.

In breaking news, Fox News reported overnight that an unnamed insider says the US government is about to announce details of the Rubio-Lavrov Pact that will divide Ukraine along the Dnipro into two areas, Western Novorussia, to become an oblast of Russia & Muskovia to the west to be owned by the US.

On this day in 1788 after morning tea but before lunch, Governor Arthur Phillip proclaimed the Colony of New South Wales before a Mötley Crüe of convicts, marines, sailors, colonial officials and free settlers thus commencing the formal British settlement of the continent of New Holland.

The Yarra Residents Collective appears to be an anti-cycling, anti-Green account masquerading as a local residents group. Does anyone have any information on them?

This article by @caitlinecassidy.bsky.social describes what it's like cycling in Sydney pretty accurately. I'm hoping to move to Melbourne in about a year, so I'm hoping her description of cycling there is just as accurate: www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Experiencing the real and natural consequences of one's decisions is a powerful tool for learning and growth. If, at some point in the near future, a certain country falls flat on its face, I would hope that its voters will learn not to vote orange.

We invade other countries and kill the inhabitants, but you must respect us. Kremlin is open to a "mutually respectful dialogue." #RuZZia #Russiaisaterroriststate www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

I deleted all my posts at the other place using Redact. I'm trying to find here the accounts I followed there. I was going to delete the Sloe_Rida account but saw a suggestion to switch it to private and just keep it open forever. It's so much nicer here.

For the avoidance of doubt or any misunderstandings, I thought I should make my views clear from the outset: Russia is a terrorist state. #russiaisaterroriststate
